Hunter-Hawking HMX-10 Military Smart Missile (Military Missile G1)

Overview

Pteradyne Tech, Weapons Division introduces the Hunter-Hawking HMX-10 Military Smart Missile, better known as Military Missile G1. It is an enhanced hardened missile originally developed exclusively for the Galactic Navy and the GalCop police forces. If the missile is affected by ECM the intelligent S&D guidance system will seek nearby Thargoids or pirates, otherwise, the behavior is like a standard hardened missile. This has also been known as the "Dragon Military Missile".

After the development of the Hawking HMX-11 Military Smart Missile, GalCop voided the restrictions so that this weapon could be offered on the open market as well.

Hawking HMX-11 Military Smart Missile (Military Missile G2)

Overview

The Hawking HMX-11 Military Smart Missile, also known as Military Missile G2, is the next generation of the Hunter-Hawking HMX-10 Military Smart Missile. While faster, more resistant to ECM, and with an extended array of targets, it also has a major flaw: the intelligent S&D guidance system can be modified and turned against the creators. While, once again, originally sold exclusively to Galactic Navy and the GalCop police forces, the founding of "System Guard Navies" expanded the market to trusted local navies and police forces as well.

Needless to say, after the flaw became public knowledge, corrupt naval and police members made a fortune by selling these missiles on the black market. Criminal hackers modified the targets so the guidance system searched for police or hunters instead of pirates. This "hacked" weapon can be found at independent or "sleazy" locations, usually, they are sold as Hacker HMX-11 Military Smart Missiles.

Remarks

The original Military Missile G2 could only be purchased at a Navy SecCom Station and therefore required Galactic Navy to be installed. If you chose the career of a criminal you can find the hacked version once in a while in systems with an unstable government or at independent and "sleazy" locations.

In stable government systems with money the police forces are usually mainly equipped with the Military Missile G2 while heavily armed pirates and assassins (pirate-interceptor for example) sometimes use the Hacker HMX-11 Military Smart Missile.


Credits

The Military Missile G2 is an improved version of the work of Wyvern, all credits, therefore, belongs to him.
